establish the functions Of government at
the newly built federal city on the banks
of the Potomac. Mrs. Adams was the
first presidents wife to occupy the execu-
tive mansion. On New Years Day Of 1901
she received with her husband the Off
Gals Of the government and society OF the
infant capital The residence of Mrs.
Adams at the executive mansion was but
brief Her husbands first election was
by bare majority, and his defeat for re-
election limited his residence ut Washing
ton 10 four months. In that time, how
ever. Mrs Adams left the impress of her
strong individuality upon the social insti-
tutions Of the capital and upon the do
nestle surroundings Of the presidential
office TO a greater degree than did the
president upon the official surroundings
Of the office. Mrs Adams inaugurated
the social customs established by Mrs.
Washington In New York and continued
in Philadelphia, and which have been
practically adhered TO ever since. Among
the ladies Of the executive mansion Mrs.
Adams will always hold prominent
place as woman Of extraordinary men
tai force and knowledge Of public events
beyond the average standard Of men in
public life. -" Randolph" in Philadelphia
